Printing column headers with csvkit

There are many ways to preview the data within csvkit alone(e.g. csvlook, csvstat, etc). However, if all we want is to find the position and name of the columns in our data, it is easier to simply print a string of column headers. Let's print the column headers for the data file Spotify_MusicAttributes.csv.
